Water in pump tubes.

Hi All!

So I sterlized my pumping tubes in a steam bag (microwave) this morning. I only did that because I dropped my tubing in a cup a of coffee...oops!

I started pumping hours later not thinking about it and noticed when i was done that water was creaping into the connector! Should I toss out the milk? I'm a super worry wort, but milk is like gold to me. It's about 10 ounces, which is a TON for me to even pump!

Re: Water in pump tubes.

I wouldn't worry about it either. Everytime I sterilized my tubes, I'd get a little water in there, and it would work its way out at some point, probably into the milk now that you mention it! But it's just a drop, after all.

You can call me JoMo!
